Rodri stated, "I think we are close to that...If it keeps this way, it will be a moment that we have no other option, but let's see." This reflects the gravity of the situation as players are considering striking due to the excessive increase in their match schedules.
As teams that reach finals in multiple competitions could play an astounding 70 matches a season, players are expressing their concerns regarding the toll it takes on their physical and mental well-being.
With the Champions League expansion causing teams to play up to 16 games, all whilst managing an expanded Club World Cup and domestic cups, player workload has reached alarming levels.
Rodri's concerns echo a broader sentiment among top-level players who feel that their fixture congestion could lead to burnout, raising pressing questions about player welfare.
